Remanufactured bodywork
Posted: 12 Oct 2022 13:27
The UK Morini Riders Club is in the process of having dart bodywork remanufactured, because too many of these beautiful bikes are beginning to show their age with brittle and cracked plastics.
We have engaged an established fibreglass bodywork manufacturer and entrusted him with a complete set of original dart fairings from which to take moulds. Because of the amount of work to produce the moulds, we need to order a minimum batch of 10 sets of bodywork. After the initial batch, we can’t be sure we will be able to do a repeat batch, and we do not intend to hold panels in stock.
Much like the aluminium fuel tank project a few years ago, the Morini Riders Club does not intend to make a profit from the manufacture and sale of these, we are just helping to facilitate a ‘group buy’ to help keep these bikes on the road. We can’t yet give an exact cost but we anticipate the cost for a compete 6 part set (both sides front and rear, screen and tank cover) in white gel coat to be £500 + postage.
The tooling is next on our supplier’s job list so we are keen to get a commitment from anybody who wishes to order a set as soon as possible, so that we have an idea of numbers. We hope to have the panels coming off the production line before the end of 2022.
Please let me know if you would like a set
